Horror · Sci-Fi
Magrunner's core is a first-person puzzle-shooter that weaponizes magnetic polarity. You'll manipulate magnetic fields to traverse environments, launching yourself across chasms and rearranging colossal blocks. The game's brutal difficulty curve and emphasis on spatial reasoning are what set it apart, and its Lovecraftian horror setting provides a unique atmospheric backdrop to an otherwise mechanically driven experience.
